Where did you see that CYGWIN should be set to C:\cygwin?  This is wrong.

This is a VERY bad idea.  You'll forget about it later, upgrade, and end
up with 2 DLLs on your system which WILL conflict.  Stick with the recommended
approach if you want support from this list.  We can't debug non-standard 
installations.  There's just too many variables.

Sorry, I can't help with the rest, beyond what the documentation says.
